Ethics of environmental studies covers a range of categories, such as deep ecology. Deep ecology is a philosophy based on our sacred relationship with earth and all being, an international movement for a viable future, a path for self-realization and a compass for daily action like global warming. By studding global warming you can deepen your understanding of its effect on the world and understand what you can do to change it with your daily activities. Social Ecology is another study that integrates science with the interrelationships of culture and nature. It shows that a critical worldview and suggest that creative human enterprise can construct alternative futures. A culture's involvement in environmental issues is a complex interaction among the perception of issues from scientific, social, and political viewpoints. Industrial Ecology is the means by which humanity can deliberately and rationally approach and maintain a desirable carrying capacity, given continued economic, cultural, and technological evolution. Industries need to be aware of its long term consequences as much s it is of its consumer's needs. Their are global, regional, as well as local concerns, including Global climate change, Ozone depletion, loss of habitat and reduction of biodiversity, acid precipitation, chemical change in surface water, visibility, pesticides, ground water pollution, photochemical smog, oil spills, hazardous waste sites. Personal Ecology depends on one;s philosophical belief system. Environmental ethics involves a moral intimacy between humans and their environment.
